“I arrived and talked to people who were at the scene who reported that the victim, a woman, was dancing on the couch or inflatable mattress near an open window and apparently fell,” wrote one of the agents in the newsletter.
And he added: “When I arrived, the victim was on the floor near the pool. This condominium is in a courtyard on the second floor”.
The agent added that it seemed that Kristin would have hit a metal bank when he fell, considering that “the cushion was in blood and the armrest was broken.”.
